No more sore throats

Haven't had a chance to use it as a light box but like a drawing board it meets all my needs.I work mostly with 9x12 sheets so that's enough without taking up too much desk space.My T-squares fit well and the adjustments offer multiple tilt options.Worth the money and a great alternative to the more expensive drawing boards on the market.

Pros
  • Dimensions from min to max setting: 5-9"H x 21"W x 16"D
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

No light source! REALLY are you kidding?

Very disappointing!

Pros
  • Lightweight board with a comfortable grip makes it easy to transport to and from the classroom or workshop
Cons
  • Expensive

Pros
  • Translucent finish
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
